Denver Department of Public Safety will be testing Outdoor Warning Sirens

The Denver Department of Public Safety along with the Denver Office of Emergency Management are partnering up to test the Outdoor Warning Sirens and landline or opt-in Reverse Emergency Notification system next week.

Officials say testing will take place from May 8 through May 12. The testing is meant to ensure Denver's emergency technology is functional, therefore residents should not be alarmed. During the test, there is no need to take action.

REN testing will take place every 45 minutes in various neighborhoods in the city. The siren could possibly be heard throughout the city and at Denver International Airport.
